Snacks and Drinks on Induction

Re: Snacks and Drinks on Induction

yes your correct but as splenda doesnt affect blood sugar and you stay to your daily limit this shouldnt affect any addiction ? as your not feeding your addiction to sugar ?

It's the addiction to the sweet taste, not to the sugar rush that comes when consuming real sugar. If that addiction exists, then it is fed when consuming artificial sweeteners.

Also, some people are cephalic responders and get a blood sugar response from artificial sweeteners.

You're missing the point of what Georgiana and I are trying to tell you.

so why does doctor atkins say its ok to use sweetner in induction?

Because it is "ok".

That you want to put it in good old plain water is a bit of a red flag for some of us though.

If you can't drink water without it being sweetened, then that's a bit of a "problem", and it would be in YOUR best interests to break that.

It is "ok" to have artificial sweeteners in the allowed amounts.

Not having them is only a recommendation, not a "rule".

Re: Snacks and Drinks on Induction

i understand what you are both saying but its all about control as veg is the same that contains sugar some higher than other,s.
personally savoury foods are my main problem thats how i became fat....and allways broke this diet for savoury foods.

now i have learnt to control my addiction to savory foods but wouldnt stop eating them as what else would i eat?

splenda is a substitute
